Read whatever, whenever, however.
Welcome to the Home Zone. It's grey and rainy today so staying inside is pretty easy. Some of my online book orders are starting to arrive, but I think the local parcel postie is very busy as I spotted him delivering on Sunday. Here's what arrived this week, and don't forget to stay home (even... Continue Reading →
Hello and welcome to the new abnormal. Just a couple of months ago I would have been referring to the new album from The Strokes. Please STAY HOME and save lives. Listen to the experts. I got some books in the post this week, including some comfort reads (bottom row). Thank you to those working... Continue Reading →
A very different world this week. I haven't done a lot of reading because I've been out stalking toilet paper for sale for older folk but I think that will change. Everything I have planned has been cancelled, bar one event (which I'm expecting that will be cancelled today). My five-month holiday has turned out... Continue Reading →

The good: Unique setting to tell an interesting story. The not-so-good: Lucy's section of the story occasionally lost momentum. Why I chose... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! I've been struggling with allergies and enjoying Peaky Blinders this week, so I haven't been doing too much reading. Hopefully that will change with these great books I received/bought: My first four books were all from Harlequin, as part of the Herstory campaign which looks at women who rebel across history. I'm looking... Continue Reading →
Things are a bit better in Australia this week, with rain on the east coast and the roads open in the west. As you can see, the mail trucks are catching up (and so are the food ones). Jane in Love by Rachel Givney (available 4th February) arrived from Penguin. Jane Austen is on a... Continue Reading →
